A cop on the edge...

Lured by the promise of kinky sex, two men prowl the French Quarter. One is a cop. The other is a killer.

Clint Eastwood is Wes Block, a lawman walking a Tightrope seperating him from the man he strives to be and the man he fears he is. When investigating brutal sex murders, he uncovers a link between himself and the suspect. To the killer, the only good hooker is a dead one - especially if she's been with Block. Soon, no woman who knows Block is safe, including those dearest to him.
